B While the Los Angeles fires have damuged()many buildings and left tens of thousands of people displaced,the home of Gene Golling and his son Patrick in the Palisades Highlands neighborhood is one of the few that survived.While many in their community lost everything,the Collings believe the survival of their house lies in two key things:clearing brush and a watering systcm powered by a homemade pump( )The Gollings'20,000-gallon swimming pool served as an important water source when the Palisades Fire endangered their neighborhood. The system,which uses a water pump powered by a car engine,was fixed by Gene Golling last summer after he saw an online advertisement for the equipment.Costing just under $3,700,it was a prevention method."I imagined my house burning,"Gene Golling said,reflecting on his decision to buy the system. "I said to myself,this is a disaster to happen." Though the Gollings couldn't have known how big the fire would be or how close it would get,they had already tested the system months earlier.In the event of a fire,the pump would allow them to use water from their pool to soak()the area around their home. The system worked as planned.On Tuesday,as the fire got closer,the Gollings ran the system for 10 hours straight,soaking the hillside around their home."When we came back on Thursday,we were so shocked to see this tree that had caught fire and this hill below,"Patrick said,describing the fire's path through their neighborhood."That's when we realized,if this area hadn't been soaked for hours,the fire would have lit up and burned everything. The Gollings took pity on their neighbors,many of whom were not so lucky.The family stressed the importance of preparation for possible disasters."People should be better prepared for future fires,"Patrick said."Fires aren't going anywhere."The Gollings hope their experience can serve as a lesson for others. 24.How does the watering system work? A.It pumps water from a pool. B.It uses underwater wells. C.It's powered by solar energy. D.It needs an Internet connection. 25.What made Gene decide to buy a watering system? A.His idea of watering their garden. B.His worry about possible fire damage. C.His interest in learning to put out fires D.His plan to make the most of pool water. 26.Which statement might Patrick agree with? A.Fires move too quickly to be controlled B.Soaking in advance turns out to be wise. C.Natural disasters require community efforts. D.Advanced tools promise the safety of houses. 27.What does the Gollings'experience tell us? A.Better to be safe than sorry. B.Take the bad with the good. C.There's no smoke without fire. D.Actions speak louder than words. C Last weekend we started the yearly decoration of prcparing our home for the festival season.With a personal preference,I like to keep things simple.My choices are kecping all decorations within a color style of silver and purple.However,my 4-yeur-old hclper kept asking for more eye-catching decorations such as colorful and life-sized snowmen! My daughter's ideas led me to think over the importance of holiday decorations.Reviewing literature on the topic,I came across an interesting study from 1989,which suggests that holiday decorations are far more than themselves.Decorations may be sending quict messages about the homeowners and provide information about their personality and sociability. In the study from 1989,researchers from the University of Utah asked 58 students to rate()a set of 16 photographs.Photos included homes with or without festival decorations and homes of people that had self-reported either low or high levels of social interactions()with their neighbors.Those students were asked to rate the sociability of the homeowners based on the photos and to provide open-ended reports explaining their impressions. The experiment produced some interesting findings.Most rated owners of homes with decorations as people who were more sociable and friendly with their neighbors.And to people's surprise,some less socially active subjects were rated more open and sociable when their home had more decorations than homes of other more social subjects.One group of homeowners received special attention in the experiment:so- called "people in change".These were people who didn't know many of their neighbors but were thirsty for connections.By decorating their homes,these people effectively communicated openness and an interest in neighborhood interaction. While the findings are from a relatively small piece of research from over 30 years ago,I believe that. the results still hold true today.Decorations appear to act as a bridge,making connections in neighborhoods strong where people might otherwise remain cold.So,as you hang your lights next time,consider the message they send and the connections they might help you build. 28.Why did the author read literature on decorations? A.To understand deeper meanings B.To satisfy his daughter's wishes. C.To save on decoration costs. D.To simplify holiday preparations. 29.What can be inferred about decorations from the experiment? A.They express a similar message. B.They make homeowners more sociable C.They act as a sign of friendliness D.They play a role in lasting relationships. 30.What's the author's attitude towards the experimental results? A.Unclear. B.Uninterested. C.Doubtful. D.Agreeable. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The unknown art of decorations B.The hidden message of decorations C.The new purpose of decorations D.The cultural background of decorations D On a gray morning this past March,a group of six scientists searched the sea near Chile's Atacama Desert.When a huge whale surfaced,their small boat rushed over to meet it.Biologist Susannah Buchan waited.As the fin whale got closer,she placed a forearm-sized tracker on its back.The team would get the tracker back the next morning,record the whale's movemcnts and listen to its sounds. Fin whales are the world's second-largest whales."You might not have heard much about them since they aren't the biggest,the most active or the loudest of whales,"Buchan says.Instead,their claim to fame is sadder:Fin whales are the most often killed by big ships. Buchan has been tracking fin whales for the past five years in Chile.Buchan's goal is to develop guidelines on places ships should avoid and when they should slow down by studying fin whales'underwater sounds. Thousands of whales are killed or injured each year from crashes with ships.With a fourfold increase in ocean traffic since 1992,more whales are becoming roadkill in ocean shipping lanes().About 90 percent of the world's goods are transported over the ocean,mainly by big ships.Even more terrible for whales,a study in Nature shows that by 2050,the world's oceans will have up to 12 times as many ships as they do today.We know ship crashes are one of the main causes of death for ocean animals,but no one knows exactly how many whales are struck().This is partly because only about 10 percent of these accidents are seen or reported,according to NOAA,and partly because most whale bodies go down when they die.Only about 1 to 17 percent of the bodies of struck whales are ever found. Unfortunately,some of the world's busiest shipping lines-including those Buchan studies in Chile- are in the same areas where influenced whales live."The situations are pretty frightening.Ships are larger, faster,and there are more of them,"says Buchan."If something isn't done to protect whales,we expect things will get worse.” 32.What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A.The size and behavior of fin whales. B.A challenge of tracking whales at sea. C.The role of biologists in saving whales. D.A team's efforts to study a fin whale 33.What does the phrase "claim to fame"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Way to draw attention. B.Reason for being famous. C.Chance to face challenges. D.Method for achieving a goal. 34.How is paragraph 4 organized? A.By listing numbers. B.By giving examples. C.By describing a process. D.By comparing differences. 35.What might the author continuc talking about? A.The history of ocean traffic dovolopmont. B.Effecte of fin whale deaths on trade. C.Action on reducing ship strikes on whalcs. D.Othor soa animals influcnced by ships. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays,AI tools are rapidly entering classrooms,workplaces,and creative industries.36 What do they mcan for human crcativity?Can AI replace human skills? James C.Kaufman,a teacher at the University of Conneclicul,believes the answers are not simple. In his study,people completed storytelling tasks either on their own or with Al.The results showed that people who were more creative without AI also performed belter when using AI.Instead of making everyone equally(平等地)creative,AI makes the differences between people more obvious(明显的).37 Creativity is more than producing ideas-it requires deciding what makes sense,what is original,and what is worth trying,something AI cannot do well. Nowhere are the influences of these findings more worrying than in education.Depending too much on AI for tasks like writing papers risks stopping students from improving their skills.While AI may help produce acceptable results,it often leads to bypassing the learning process.38 Besides,in creative industries,AI is replacing entry-level jobs such as caption writing.These jobs often help beginners develop and grow professionally.Without them,new creators lose chances,and the creative world could become divided-hobbyists on one side and well-funded professionals on the other. Kaufman challenges the popular idea that AI“democratizes(使民主化)”creativity..He points out that creativity is already a fair human ability.39 As paid AI tools improve and free ones get worse,only people who can afford the best tools will benefit. 40 How it influences society depends on who controls it and how it is used.The real challenge is finding ways to use AI responsibly,without harming education,fairness,or human creativity.As Kaufman says,"We're still deciding what kind of future we want these tools to help create." A.It depends on who is using it. B.This brings us some questions. C.The reason lies in how crealivity actually works. D.What AI may introduce instead are new inequalities. E.The researcher then tested creativity in both conditions. F.In the end,Kaufman views AI as neither good nor bad,but powerful. G.This could mean students fail to build lasting abilities when AI is removed. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)》 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I arrived in Antuanuu Community as a CorpsAfrica volunteer,I didn't know a single person.
